Until now, this relationship has been recognised mainly in ungulates. To expand the database to a statistically representative set of carnivorans, δ18OP and δ18OC values were analysed in 32 samples from modern dogs and foxes collected in Poland. The results obtained for canids are consistent with data reported for other mammals, suggesting a universal model of oxygen isotope fractionation between enamel phosphate and carbonate in mammals, including carnivorans, artiodactyls, and perissodactyls.}, title={Oxygen Isotope Fractionation between Dental Enamel Phosphate and Carbonate in Carnivorans – Implications for the Preservation Assessment in Paleoecological Studies}, type={Article}, URL={http://www.czasopisma.pan.pl/Content/137576/8_Krajcarz.pdf}, doi={10.24425/sq.2025.154329}, keywords={stable isotopes, biogeochemistry, teeth, carnivores, apatite, preservation state}, }
